Omega De Ville 2500 Movement

tealtadpole · Dec 27, 2023

Hi, sorry if this is a very basic question. I am thinking to buy Omega watch, but not quite sure about the movement. I read that I should stay away from 2500A / 2500B.
But how to tell a watch is using 2500 A/B/C/D?

What about this watch?

How to tell if a De Ville watch is old enough to use 2500A/ 2500B?

Thank you in advance

Anything after 2005 or so should be C and after 2011 or so D spec. That looks like a recent variant, if so it’ll be D. Any Omega using the 14 digit PIC code like there should likely be new enough to avoid A or B spec I would have thought.

Thank you for the response. But how can we check the product release date?

You can't directly but try a google search on the PIC code or model name (De Ville Prestige) to see if any of the media picked up on the launch and reviewed it. That will give you a rough date, but I know from experience that the style of DV you show in your link isn't more than a few years old. As I say, the fact it has the 14 digit code, in itself shows it must be a C or later and in fact my money is on that watch having D spec.

Thank you! You are right, apparently it's 2016. Should be either C/D. Thank you ~🥰
